Talk Radio Begins Previews in February '07

Eric Bogosian's Pulitzer Prize-nominated play Talk Radio, about a controversial late night talk radio host, will begin performances on Broadway at the Longacre Theater (220 West 48th Street) on Sunday, February 9th.  

Liev Schreiber will play Barry Champlain, the vituperative and mesmerizing radio host. He was last seen on Broadway in the Tony Award-winning revival of Glengarry Glen Ross, for which he received the Best Featured Actor award for his portrayal of Ricky Roma.  His other recent stage credits include Macbeth, Harold Pinter's Betrayal, and Neil LaBute's The Mercy Seat.

Schreiber will joined by Peter Hermann ("Law & Order" and United 93), Erik Jensen ("Law & Order, The Exonerated), and Stephanie March ("Law & Order: SVU" and Death Of A Salesman).

Bogosian's work includes Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, SubUrbia, Pounding Nails in the Floor with my Forehead, Sex, Drugs, & Rock & Roll, and Drinking in America (Drama Desk Award). Talk Radio was a nominated finalist for the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.  This is Bogosian's first play to be produced on Broadway.  In addition, he has written screenplays for several motion pictures.  His second novel was published last year.
